OUR TRIP OUT WEST CONTINUED We awoke to a cold sunny day, at 7 a.m. on Jackson Lake in the grand Tetons. Our cabin was very nice in the Signal ML Lodge area. We had a nediocre breakfast at the very elegant Jackson Lake Lodge over looking Jackson Lake, and the Teton Range. After breakfast we proceeded to Teton village by a so,called short cut road. It was extremely narrow , winding and hazardous road. We took the aireal tram ride to the tops of one of the highest peaks over looking the Jackson hole. It was fantastic and exhilarating, the tempperature at the - summit was 30 degrees, ft was too cold to get out, for some of us, so we stayed in the cable car which held 65 people. This sky ride was built recently, primarily for 4he skiers, in^fhe winter, ft" \s the largest in the'world and is a 2 million dollar investment. Our next experience was not so predictable. We took another short cut through the Teton Pass into Idaho. That was the most hair raising experience yet with the exception of the blizzard through the Big Horn mountains. This was a secondary road, and the steep ascent1 was accomplished by a series of hair pin turns, which wa&a- ; nother hair raising experience. When we reached the top, we looked back over the road we had travelled, and wondered if we would every get down again alive, after descending into Idaho. We were met with another unusual sight, which was the black lava beds, which was another desolate sight. Since we~ were attempting to reach Salt Lake City fay night fall we spent the rest of the day traveling at top speed, with our food breaks, we arrived at Salt Lake City, at 6:15. Stayed at the beautiful Roderway Dm. We walked through mid town, to Morman Temple square, just in time to here the organ recital in the famous Morman Tabernacle. The organ is one of the finest in the world and the tabernacle has perfect acoustics. We left and went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner and then to our large luxurious beds. Continued next time. The end is near. A 992-page history of this county, titled "McHenry County, Illinois 1832-1968" will soon be introduced to an impatiently waiting public. After a hectic period last month of transferring the 4,000 copy job from (Hie print shop to a second one to get it completed, the Education and Public Relations committee of the McHenry county board of supervisors will be able to announce a definite delivery date within the next week. The project began in May, 1967, when the county board named an editor, Lowell Nye of Harvard, and began to appropriate funds to finance the project, designed as the county's highlight of Illinois' Sesquicentennialyear. Mr. Nye, Working in close contact with the committee headed fay Thomas H. Huemann, assistant supervisor of Johnsburg in McHenry township, set tg) a staff of seventeen township historians, and assistaitf editor, an artist, and a production office in cooperation with the Harvard Chamber of Commerce. Story after story appeared in the county press and over local (radio stations, detailing the progress of compiling this history. The delivery date was planned to coincide with the McHenry County Fair of Aug. 1-4. Deadlines were met and the final printer's page proof was okayed on July 13. But the presses, which began to roll on this job in January, didn't keep up with the composing room. Hie big 25-chapter book is printed 16 pages at a time and folded in 32-page sections. Hie days wore on through Auggust and early September. Delivery promises were made and hroken. Finally, after the 60- year old book,j printing plant that took on the job originally in Dix&f was near the 800-page mark in the printing, it met with financial reverses and had to surrender the final 192pages to a shop in Chicago. Now the printing is done and the job is in the hands of the bindery. Ibis five-pound volume, the first of its kind in McHenry county since 1922, will be introduced before the committee, the editorial staff, and the press and radio at a dinner to be held at the Timbers restaurant, Woodstock, in November. Meanwhile, the business manager, W.H. Tammeus of Woodstock, has been taking orders, first on a "pre-publication*' basis up to Feb. 1, and since then at the permanent price, also at Committee instruction. He has a waiting list of more than 750 customers who have paid part or all of their purchase price. Page proofs, have been sent to prospective buyers who might like to know that they or their relatives are pictured in the 610 illustrations Used in this book, and has had lively response. < When the first of the 4,000. copies arrive in Woodstock, they will come bound with a handsome blue hard cover, stamped with the McHenry county seal and title in gold, and wrapped with an attractive 2-color dust jacket. For the book orders that must, of necessity, be mailed, a limited number of cardboard mailing cartons has been ordered. One closing comment from the editor who las, along with the committee and others, endured the agonizing wait for his "baby" to see daylight: "The printing quality, in both shops, has been excellent. We are sorry for the delay, but we make no apologies for the book itself. We anticipate that the McHenry county-connected SOCIAL SECURITY : Social Security beneficiaries in this area who need to report changes of address or other events which affect their monthly payments are urged tomake these reports directly to the social security office in Wau- Bernard Barnett, district manager, said these reports could be made by mail, telephone, or personal visit.
